In the evening two days later, Li Muchan and Bai Mingqiu stood at the foot of a towering mountain and looked up. They could not see the top of the mountain, and half of their waists were covered by clouds and mist.
"Is this the Huaqing Sect?" Li Muchan narrowed his eyes and looked up.
Bai Mingqiu sighed softly and nodded slowly: "Yes."
Li Muchan looked at her bright eyes twinkling thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Sister, have you been here before?"
"Been here once." Bai Mingqiu said.
Li Muchan smiled and asked, "Did you come here with Master?"
"Yes." Bai Mingqiu said: "Master came to persuade the master's husband and wanted to persuade the two of them to reconcile, but unfortunately he failed because they were both too stubborn."
Li Muchan said: "It's difficult for outsiders to understand the relationship between husband and wife, so it's better to watch from a distance -... Since the two of them are at odds, it won't have any impact, right?"
Bai Mingqiu rolled her eyes at him and said a little impatiently: "Don't worry, we will help!...Junior brother, you are so annoying!"
Li Muchan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, thinking that he would be confused if he cared.
If Huaqing Sect can really help, then I will have no worries and can deal with the Qinghe Sword Sect happily.
Tianyuan Pavilion is his handle. The Qinghe Sword Sect does not have to deal with him. He only needs to concentrate his elite troops to clean up Tianyuan Pavilion. He can only be beaten passively.
The two were talking when suddenly two people floated out from the woods, both wearing moon-white gowns and swords hanging from their waists. They looked polite, elegant and graceful.
Li Muchan secretly admired the good looks. The two were handsome, the one on the left was taller, and the short one on the right had a sharper temperament, like a sword unsheathed.
"Junior Sister Bai!" The two of them were surprised, clasping fists and approaching: "Long time no see, Junior Sister Bai!"
Bai Mingqiu cupped his fists and nodded lightly: "Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Lin!"
"Who is this...?" The two of them looked at Li Muchan, their eyes piercing like arrows, wanting to shoot through Li Muchan's internal organs.
Li Muchan smiled and clasped his fists: "I, Li Wuji, have met you two."
"Li Wuji...?" The two looked at each other and looked at Li Muchan in surprise.
Li Muchan smiled and the two of them had obviously heard of his reputation, but did not speak. Bai Mingqiu said: "Senior Brother Cheng, is Master Li here?"
"Oh, unfortunately, Master Li is in retreat." The tall young man shook his head, showing regret.
Bai Mingqiu frowned: "Retreat?"
Li Muchan also frowned, but he could see that the two people looked a little strange.
The tall young man nodded hurriedly and said: "Master Li has been in seclusion for more than a month. We don't know when he will be released, and we don't dare to disturb him.
These words directly blocked Bai Mingqiu's words. She hesitated and said calmly: "So, my trip here was in vain?"
"Junior Sister Bai, why do you want to come to our Huaqing Sect?" the tall young man asked hurriedly.
Li Muchan said: "Senior sister, why don't we forget it."
He saw through the trick at a glance. It was obvious that Hua Qingzong wanted to stand by and watch without any intention of helping. He had been fooled.
Bai Mingqiu glanced at Li Muchan and said coldly: "Since you are here, why don't you go up the mountain to pay homage to Sect Leader Leng, otherwise it would be too rude!"
"Um..." The tall young man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "What a coincidence, the sect leader has also gone into seclusion, so why don't you meet Elder Li."
Bai Mingqiu hesitated again, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, since the sect leader and Master Li have gone into seclusion, we won't go up the mountain!"
"Junior Sister Bai, since you are here, let's go up the mountain!" The tall young man said with a smile: "Let us show our friendship as landlords, or Master Li will wake up and punish us!"
Li Muchan frowned and looked at the two of them.
Bai Mingqiu looked at Li Muchan. She felt depressed. She didn't expect that Li Muchan had told him that the Huaqing Sect was really planning to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
She was both ashamed and annoyed. She didn't expect Hua Qingzong to be so short-sighted.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Senior sister, it's hard to refuse such kindness, so there's no harm in sitting down for a while."
"Okay." Bai Mingqiu sighed, nodded, and said coldly: "Then let's go up the mountain and take a look. Wait and see, Master Li, maybe Juitian will be released from seclusion!"
"Haha, that's right." The two of them nodded in agreement.
They led the way in front, moving very fast, just like the breeze carrying floating catkins, slowly swinging upwards, and they reached the top of the mountain in a short time.
As they hurried on, the fog unknowingly thickened, making the scenery below invisible.
The top of the peak is a continuous building, built against the mountain and shaded by woods. It seems to be integrated with the entire mountain peak, without any sense of abruptness.
Li Muchan admired that this is the foundation of the great sect. After a long enough time, these buildings bear the vicissitudes of time, just like the surrounding woods.
"Junior Sister Bai, Junior Brother Li, please." The two of them spoke very little along the way. They just kept speeding up, as if they wanted to throw Li Muchan and Bai Mingqiu away.
Both of them were not weak in cultivation, but they were still far behind Li Muchan and Bai Mingqiu. In the end, they failed to achieve their goals. Looking at Li Muchan's leisurely and contented look, he couldn't help but feel sulky.
Li Muchan felt more and more weird about these two people. He didn't feel any hostility, but they clearly behaved strangely, as if they had ulterior motives.
When they arrived at a small courtyard, a tall young man knocked on the door, then went in. After a while, he came out and invited Li Muchan and Bai Mingqiu in.
After the two entered the yard, they were faced with a pine forest. After turning around the pine forest, they saw a small pavilion. In the pavilion sat an old man with white eyebrows and kind eyes, and his face was as rosy as a baby. He obviously had good health skills.
"I've met Elder Li!" Bai Mingqiu said calmly, clasping his fists and entering the small pavilion.
Li Muchan clasped his fists and looked at Elder Li, whose cultivation was about the same as him. He looked at Bai Mingqiu with a smile and said with a chuckle: "Qiu'er, it's rare that you can come!"
Bai Mingqiu said coldly: "Elder Li, we are not familiar with each other!"
"Alas..." Elder Li shook his head, turned to Li Muchan, and smiled kindly: "Brother Li is so famous!"
Li Muchan was a little baffled, but his expression remained unchanged, he held his fists and smiled: "Elder Li has given me the award, but the reputation is not worth mentioning."
Elder Li smiled and said: "This is not a false reputation. Qinghe Sword Sect is not a good person. You have great martial arts and courage. Is Yue'er worried?"
Li Muchan nodded helplessly: "I just poked a hornet's nest!"
He could see that Elder Li had a relationship with Bai Mingqiu. The relationship was by no means simple, but they had a somewhat cordial feeling.
Elder Li said: "Yes, a big hornet's nest!"
Bai Mingqiu sneered: "I didn't expect you Hua Qingzong to be so timid!"
"Qiu'er, you can't blame us." Elder Li shook his head and sighed: "Once we get ahead, the Mirror Sect will never let go of the opportunity!"
"So you are afraid of the Mingjing Sect?" Bai Mingqiu squinted at him.
Elder Li touched his white beard and sighed helplessly: "The sect master is injured."
"Beat by the Mirror Sect?" Bai Mingqiu frowned.
Elder Li nodded: "The Mingjing Sect's surname Huang is very powerful!"
Li Muchan knew that he was talking about Huang Ningtian, the leader of the Mingjing Sect. It was said that his martial arts skills were peerless and rare in the world, and he had never met an opponent so far.
Bai Mingqiu said: "Isn't it to avoid us?"
Elder Li touched his white beard and laughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed.
Seeing his expression like this, Bai Mingqiu turned cold and snorted. Elder Li hurriedly said: "Qiu'er, they really don't have the face to see you."
"Will the Ming Mirror Sect deal with us?" Bai Mingqiu asked.
Elder Li laughed awkwardly and said nothing.
Bai Mingqiu sneered: "What use do you need!"
Elder Li hurriedly said: "Qiu'er, don't talk nonsense! ...If it doesn't work, you just retreat, they can't get in."
"Can you keep it for a lifetime?" Bai Mingqiu snorted.
"Oh... I didn't expect the man named Huang to be so powerful. I really can't deal with him!" Elder Li shook his head helplessly.
